Vivo has been teasing their new Apex 2019 phone recently with the official launch happening right now.
Vivo made headlines last year with the Vivo Nex which was the first phone to eliminate the selfie on the front of the phone and place it in a
The new phone uses a glass body has absolutely no buttons or ports. To charge it you do so via a magnetic charger than slips on to the pins on the back, while this is great in theory it does mean you have a proprietary attachment compared to USB-C.

The phone also comes with 5G support, but what that means yet is unclear and we are waiting for clarification on this.
The phone will feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset with liquid cooling. This will be combined with 12GB or RAM and 512GB or built in memory.
